Siegmund Fixture Table 2 Year Review - Welding Table Update

I just want to give a huge thanks to Quantum Machinery for supporting what I do here on YouTube.

I have the same setup. I too have had it for about two years. Since I purchased the 3'x4' table bundle, I have added many more accessories essentially doubling my initial investment. Money well spent. The quality is top level. A real pleasure to use. It has paid for itself. Your imagination becomes the limiting factor in how to build a fixture to hold items. I've expanded the capacity beyond welding. I have built fixtures to support development of other products for clients in my shop.

I bought the same setup last November as a Christmas present to myself. I could not be more pleased. The fixturing capacity is really good. Not cheap but a good value. I live close enough to the warehouse that I was able to avoid the shipping charge. Let me say they have a lot of tables in stock. Well into the hundreds of all sizes. The staff were great to work with too.

The picture quality of this vid is amazing. I just came from some other videos, when I opened yours I was struck by the great visual. Good job on videography. What an amazing tool system.. The horizontal adjustment of those clamps is not to be underrated, great feature. For a long time I worked off my concrete slab floor, I eventually upgraded to a HF/NT table, mine happens to be NT and I got two at a great price before HF started selling their version. They are sufficient for what I do, and def better than the floor lol, but nowhere near the quality and feature of this product. I have often been stymied by where to place the clamps, bc they don't horizontally adjust. And needing to use a nut on the bottom, while not a huge burden considering my low level of production, is still something I would rather not have to do. And I've had to chase one or two of those threads. The large 90-degree clamp/arm thingies you used for vertical join are tool pron, simply amazing, maybe one day I will let go of holding a few nickels together hard enough to make them dimes to buy a system like this. For now, I have been able to manage fairly large vertical joins with enough accuracy for what I have done so far, but, man, those would be so nice to have. Extremely happy, Tim, that you got this table and its various accoutrements, and extremely happy that you share these and all you do with us.

p.s. another hidden feature of a table like this is the thickness allows for use of a Mag Drill. My tables are about 1/2 the thickness that the drill manufacturer calls for in order for the magnet to do its job properly.

TW, I've been envious since your first Siegmund video 2 yrs ago. Late last year I bought a fixture table and accessories. It's a fabrication game changer! So easy to use producing superb results. If you're considering one, just do it.

Also, I like your makeshift table leg fixture. I'll be doing that for sure. Thanks TimWelds and Siegmund.

Pretty sure you would pass the Fireball fabrication test with this table. :).

Beautiful tables help produce beautiful parts.

Table is amazing, too amazing for my wallet

I was actually surprised that this table doesn't cost more considering all its features and the quality of steel and the precision specs.

Thanks, Tim! Just using a cheapie welding table right now but even that is night and day compared to clamping and the driveway.

Looks like your comments are getting spammed.

[planeflyer]

For long term reviews, how about testing welding rods/wire that have been opened for a long period of time, any degradation, difficulty starting, etc.

How did you level your table? I have the same table in 2 m x 1 m and using my 2 m long straight edge, I can slip a 0.1 mm feeler gauge on both ends of the edge. Not sure if I can do better though.

[titansteelful]

Both those clamps rely on “binding force” as you say.

[briandale]

You look like you dropped a few pounds . Great.

The cost of the fixtures range from pretty good, to pretty high. But they’re of really good quality. I’ve spent around the same amount for fixtures as for the table. But having a five sided (sometimes called a 3D table) gives the advantage of buying a table that you can easily fit within your space and mine is also 3 x 4 feet. But with the triangle extensions you can extend the table by as much as 40 inches in length and width if you buy the longest ones and at least one for each side, though I recommend two per side. There are shorter ones as well. So you can do long work and then go back to the normal size. I’m sorry to say this, but the Fireball tables, though he does tests that show them to be the best, are simply not equal to these. Some things he says are simply not true, and some of his tests weren’t exactly unbiased. When Quantum bought two for their own tests, on their channel, the lacking, under the top covering, said Strong Hand, and made in China. It’s believed that Fireball may be owned by Strong Hand, or somehow affiliated with them. They were also partly rusted.
